Affordable Abroad Education Destination – Choose Singapore

Greetings!!

In my earlier posts, I gave you an insight into abroad universities and had often highlighted the merits of abroad education in different ways. Now I am going country specific and will brief you about some hot abroad destinations for further studies in my upcoming series of posts.

SINGAPORE promotes excellence in all its sectors and is no different in terms of quality of education it offers. Since it houses the best of the east, students get a chance to become a part of the global community. The outlook towards life may be modern, but it is affordable all the same. Additionally scholarships and tuition fee waivers are provided to good students. The reasons may be many to choose Singapore as the education destination apart from affordable education. Few of them are excellent cultural activities, excellent night life, lush greenery, proximity to Asian regions and cheap airlines are available from Singapore to Thailand. Also one can visit ancient cities of Cambodia.

Top Universities in Singapore -

There are around 14 universities in Singapore which offer programs in MBA, medical engineering, arts and design, films and many other disciplines. Singapore houses some of the world’s best universities. Few of the famous universities in Singapore are:-

The above mentioned universities are all recognized and are some of the best universities in the world.

Admission Procedure

The procedure is not so difficult and here I list two steps of utmost importance that you should follow to fulfill the admission criteria.
Download and submit the application form along with required score transcripts and IELTS score.
Upon receiving the acceptance letter from the university, apply for the student visa.

Student Visa Requirements

Within two weeks of receiving the acceptance letter, the student must apply for the student pass at the Immigration and Checkpoint Authority (ICA) at least two months prior to course completion.

Cost of Study

The average yearly cost for academics alone comes to roughly around 6100 to 7000 USD, while living expenses per month can come to about 600 to 1600 USD.

Overall, Singapore is a great destination to explore for further studies. You will be elated to know that recently a survey conducted by Hay Group, Human Resource Consultancy revealed that the fresh graduates of the current year got increased package as compared to previous years. The engineers were most sought after and got an average package of 2262 USD. The employees in research and development drew an average salary of 2250 USD.

I have a few relatives in Singapore and they often brag about lush green environment, affordable education, excellent customer related services, low crime. Apart from that there are loads of world schools, one of them is Global Indian International school where my cousins study. So I assure you considering all the goodies that Singapore possess, it is going to be a favorite and hot spot education destination not only for India but for the entire world.
